Karl Johan
www.myspace.com/karljohanmusic
( ;D --> Karl Johan is the new Swedish wonder boy of electronic music. In less than a year he has gone from handing out demos at Germany’s Fusion festival to completing his self-titled debut album for Spiral Trax. In the meantime he has provided slamming remixes and singles for labels such as Tribal Vision, Spiral Trax and Plastik Park, gaining support from DJs such as Jerome Isma-ae, D-Nox, Glenn Morrison, Tocadisco, Hernan Cattaneo, James Harcourt, Eddie Halliwell, Fergie, 16bitlolitas, Meat Katie, Gareth Emery, Slater, Pena, Nick Warren, Tim Davison, Jamie Stevens, Parham and Flash Brothers, as well as reaching a top position in Beatport’s Progressive House Chart. Looking back at the last twelve months it is amazing to have been able to witness Karl Johan’s progression into a fully-fledged producer defining his own unique style of progressive- and tech-house with a tough techy edge.)

Sar's technique and musical sensibilities are reminiscent of early techno innovators'?Christian Vogel, Neil Landstrum, Plastikman, Jeff Mills?but he adds in a special high-tech elasticity and incorporates some of the most bizarre syncopated rhythms.)

Made by the industrial provocateurs along with original Buddha Machine creator Christiaan Virant, the Gristleism features "thirteen original and uncompromising loops" and promises a "mix of signature TG experimental noise, industrial drone, and classic melodies and rhythms." Perfect for those days when you need some background music to go along with dissecting dead animals or staring at TV static.)

Air

( ;D --> More apt to cite stately rock paragons Burt Bacharach and Brian Wilson as their inspirations than Derrick May or Aphex Twin, the French duo Air gained inclusion into the late-'90s electronica surge due chiefly to the labels their recordings appeared on, not the actual music they produced. Their sound, a variant of the classic disco sound coaxed into a relaxing Prozac vision of the late '70s, looked back to a variety of phenomena from the period -- synthesizer maestros Tomita, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Vangelis, new wave music of the nonspiky variety, and obscure Italian film soundtracks.)

( ;D --> Blue Stone, is a two-man producer driven outfit featuring the talents of writers / producers Robert Smith and Bill Walters. With the addition of diverse and contrasting vocal styles, that range from choral to pop to new age and chill-out to the indescribable, Blue Stone have amassed a quality and dedicated following as well as a strong foothold in a sub genre of so many other ‘genres.’ Emphasis is on the female voice.)

( ;D --> Bain Wolfkind is except being a solo artist also active in the formation Der Blutharsch, but as a solo artist he makes much better music than Der Blutharsch delivers in recent years. On his solo tour Bain Wolfkind sounds like the misfit brother of Nick Cave and also the spirit of Leonard Cohen wanders through his music.)

( ;D --> The term 'isolationist ambient' is sometimes used to describe drone music with glacial, introspective, cosmic themes, etc. It's a somewhat extraneous adjective when you consider what ambient music actually is, but it seems fitting to describe artists such as Köner.)

( ;D --> Brand new album from legendary Porter Ricks member and Mille Plateaux luminary Thomas Koner, limited copies only!!!* There are few artists in the world of recorded music who have such an innate understanding of the use of silence and atmosphere as Thomas Köner. Next to Helge Sten, The Hafler Trio or Mika Vainio, Köner is an acclaimed master of ultra-subtle ambient acoustics, providing some of the finest records on labels like Mille Plateaux, Die Stadt and Chain Reaction, both under his birth name, and as half of seminal techno act Porter Ricks.)
Porter Ricks
www.koener.de/porterricks.htm
( ;D --> Porter Ricks specializes in subaquatic dub techno, providing the closest touchstone to the static hum and fuzzy beatwork of their quasi label-mates Basic Channel. A collaboration between ambient maestro Thomas Köner and beatmeister Andy Mellwig.)
